John 7:36-44

³⁶What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for me, and not find me, and where I am, you can’t come’?”

³⁷On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and declared loudly, “If anyone is thirsty, let that person come to me and drink.

³⁸Rivers of living water will flow from within whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said.”

³⁹He said this about the Spirit, who those believing in Him would receive. The Holy Spirit wasn’t yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

⁴⁰When they heard these words, many in the crowd were saying, “This is really the prophet.”

⁴¹Others were saying, “This is the Christ,” but some were saying, “Surely the Christ isn’t going to come from Galilee, is He?

⁴²Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

⁴³So there was a division among the crowd because of Jesus.

⁴⁴Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
